Population size and the rate of evolution.
Does evolution proceed faster in larger or smaller populations? The relationship between effective population size (Ne) and the rate of evolution has consequences for our ability to understand and interpret genomic variation, and is central to many aspects of evolution and ecology. Many factors affect the relationship between Ne and the rate of evolution, and recent theoretical and empirical st...
متن کاملRate-equation approach to irreversible island growth with cluster diffusion.
A self-consistent rate-equation (RE) approach to irreversible island growth and nucleation is presented which takes into account cluster mobility. As a first application, we consider the irreversible growth of compact islands on a two-dimensional surface in the presence of monomer deposition (with rate F) and monomer diffusion (with rate D(1)) while the mobility of an island of size s is assume...
متن کاملA new rate law describing microbial respiration.
The rate of microbial respiration can be described by a rate law that gives the respiration rate as the product of a rate constant, biomass concentration, and three terms: one describing the kinetics of the electron-donating reaction, one for the kinetics of the electron-accepting reaction, and a thermodynamic term accounting for the energy available in the microbe's environment. The rate law, ...
متن کاملBody temperature, rate of biosynthesis, and evolution of genome size.
An optimality model relating the rate of biosynthesis to body temperature and gene duplication is presented to account for several observed patterns of genome size variation. The model predicts (1) that poikilotherms living in a warm climate should have a smaller genome than poikilotherms living in a cold climate, (2) that homeotherms should have a small genome as well as a small variation in g...
متن کاملSocial life, evolution of intelligence, behaviour and human brain size
Social life is one of the most critical factors of the evolution of the behavior of non-human primates and humans. Several factors, such as an increase in brain size, adaptive modules, and grooming, are related to the complexities of social groups. Although some scientists have mentioned foraging as a rival hypothesis for the evolution of behavior, in this research, we tried to investigate the ...
